The Health Lottery is coming to Hampshire

A reporter

The Health Lottery will be raising money for good causes in Hampshire during the week beginning Sunday, December 3 – and it needs your support.

Each week one lucky area benefits from Health Lottery proceeds and there are draws every day from Tuesday to Saturday. This week it is Hampshire’s HealthShape Community Interest Company’s (CIC) turn.

Since its first Health Lottery Draw in November 2011 HealthShape CIC has raised over £1.6 million for community groups in the area, with more than £94 million being raised nationwide.

Past projects have included Med3 Music, which delivers music sessions for people from Portsmouth and surrounding areas who experience enduring mental health problems, and Rushmoor Health Living, a participant-led programme which assists with the integration of local Nepalese people into the wider community.

Larger charities and organisations, such as The Conservation Volunteers, have also benefitted from the funds raised by HealthShape CIC.

Tickets are just £1 and can be bought online at healthlottery.co.uk or in over 32,000 stores and post offices and there are 5 draws a week
